Please take a look @ few snaps taken in Tajmahal …
In early morning there was huge amount of mist which resulted a poor quality of long shot photos… But in the afternoon and evening we had a nice view & shoot…
Nikkumo Nikkatho… May 21, 2007
Pongal,Diwali,Tamil new year,Krishnaswamy Jayanthi …chai KrishnarJayanthi …these are the some the occasions I wore Dhoti(Vaetti..gna) ! I do wear Dhoti for some temple visit just to get good name among my grandparents (ama! nijama ithuthan reason, no other reasons like get attracted in the crowd đ ) …
So , yes u guessed right. I worn Dhoti on tis weekend,yes again right, temple visit… ISKON,Mahalakshmi and anjaneya temple in Mallerswaram. We friends gathered and planned for a small holy trip… Me and my friend worn dhoti and my wouldbe in Saree…(oru devathai vanthu vittal ennai thedi…lalala..lala..la)
The visit was pakka, and Bf is also good , but we faced very major issues, like ,
I can see a fear or kalavaram in the rest of the gang’s face thru out the Trip, reason : Mine and My friend’s Vetti (read the title here) … but as we both are very trained and very much comfort with dhoti we have no problems of wearing the same for whole day …
The another issue is, We had felt a very bad smell in the vehicle we travelled (Qualis) ,its the smell of a dead rat.uuuuvvvveee..Ya me too had same thing throughout my journey. In the beginning I felt that the smell is because of my friend, I am not sure whether he took bath or not đ , but later everybody felt the same, so We informed the driver about this, he was very casual and replied “Vandi rendu naala ooti poirunthathu , athan sir” , when he said this I could remember “Hmmm.maadu nethu fulla veyilla ninnucha,athan moru suda irukku…” – Kanaka, from Karagattakaran .. :O
“Anna! Ithukku mela engala vandi utkara mudiyathu ehtavathu pannunga” – a cry from my friend…So soon after our first temple visit, the gr8 driver had thought about our concern and came to a small conclusion, He bought a “ZATAK” – SETWET parfume, to avoid the bad smelling… but the result was totaly upside down… ZATAK+RAT Smell produced more uuuvveeee sounds inside the van…
So whole trip went on uuuvvee+ zzzzzzzzzzzzzkkkkkkkk (spray) + “Dei nee nijama innukku kulichiya?” questions ….
After the trip we reached my friends home, had a comfort Lunch + ice cream + watched chennai 600028 (review later..illa vendom refer here)
So ipppadiyaga Ennudaiya sunday –va kolai panna driver than annikku kulikalainnu news kedaichathu …
Secret revealed : My friend used his newly bought belt to give the support for his dhoti …and he dint worn the underwear ( hae stop stop I meant that pattapatti drowser, Rajkiran,ramarajan,Gounder..remember yes that drowser…)
Remember … March 2, 2007

Nothing but sweet memories… August 27, 2006
* Moon light which fooled the big trees covered the road and tried to paint the road with their light white paint , “Hoooovvvvvvhhhhh” the sound of the river, shadow of 10 people walking along the way , sharing their memories and lightening their hearts … that was a nice walk I ever had..
* A good nice after lunch and a sleep under green leaves …
* Rain on the head and pain in the leg , still it can be interesting than ever… a small trek to the peak…
* A bath in running river and careful instructions from oldies in the shore “Please dont go beyond that point, huh stand there , with one hand close your nose and with other hand wash your head … đ ” thatz a wonderful bath đ
All these sweet memories I had in Bheemeshwari trek 12-14 Aug … I am unable to come out of that still.. so sweet and brief travelogue on that … ( Oh…once again a travelogue…komon..Ramc..! )
I was on a confusion to entitle my name in the list of trekers , coz I had a different plan for Coorg on those holidays. But at final moment everything got changed I entered my name along with my Friend and had a breathtaking (!) trek …
BMC which organized the trek to bheemeshwari (80 Kms from Bangalore) in a 42 seater bus(the bus which run as a contract vehicle for my company which introduced so many confusion to my frnd and questions “why u din informed us ? “;) )
Saturday morning we are the second to reach starting point by early 6.00 am (guys believe Ramc did it .. thanks for 5:00 O clock alarm) , then the group formed, all were assembled by 7:15 am , and we started our journey… collecting all guys from various collection points , and reached first trekking point (approx 10 km to reach bheemshwari) … Ohh forgot to tell you that we had Breakfast in the bus (idli, vada)
The plan was to trek upto the peak point and have lunch their and come down … but due to technical problem, we are unable to have our lunch bags on time.So planned to proceed… The trek had 2-3 break points, view points and at end we reached the peak by approx 1 hr.. We had a gr8 view of cauvery… and even one my frnd cud find group of elephants taking bath in the river đ Hence he was named as “Elephant man” ;).Spen 1/2 hr on the top , all mappillai photos are taken and we got alarm…
“Driiinnnggg …hungry…” đĻ
Down the lane, we had a visit of varuna bhagvan… He came and told a good afternoon.
It took another 1/2 hr to reach the base camp point.. we need to cross the river to reach their, coracle travel is not new for me , as I had many of them in Hoggenekal … We reached the base camp and started to find a fine place of placing our tents .. Whole group arrived and we njoyed the time there , LATE but latest LUNCH đ … after placing the tents … we are planned to have campfire and dinner under moon and asusaul anthaksari.. But plans are not success… A group of officers from Forest dept. came and issued a pathethodic situation to us… We din had our proper permision to camp there. So the issue was handled by organizers , where we fellows sat in the river bank and looking at the star filled sky… The problem was resovled by Rs.50 fine on each, and a apology letter duly signed by trekkers đ
A tasty soup and maggy (took more thatn 2 min) fulfilled our hungry stomach.. and next finding a place to sleep…
Bill gates: Ramc! its my time, I have to retire from the great empire made by me… it is my child and handing over it to you, Take care Ramc…
Ramc : Bill, ur retirement is official ,but personally you can spend your whole life in here. Dont worry I wil try best to fulfil ur place ..
Hari: Machi! Water is coming, get up , we need to shift..
Ramc: Hari , if you dont mind, I am in a important meeting with Bill, can you take the control..
Hari: Dei , Dog, Elephants visits also possible da! get up soon..
Ramc : What, elephants,water, where where am I … wher is bill gates?
Ohh..am was in dream..and water is flowing and our camp site is sinking.. very slowly.. so we shifted to a high level than current place.. that was by 5:00 am
By 8:00am (again I took incharge of Microsoft and I was in introi meeting with board! ;), We need to get ready for the Raft ride for the day , So the first group of frnds were with me on a coracle and reached the other end… mean time the camp site is sinkingggggg…that we can only see from the other end… and we hoped that the others will reach this end asap…and we continued our journey to raft site…
Life jacket,helmet, a baddle in hand , all in yellow, tema yellow is ready for Rafting . First time in my life, I was in a Raft and a trainer told in commanding tone “Please follow my order and obey it, otherwise đ ” that was a gr8 moment, and hard to explain … at a point we, in the raft totally lost our control , but somehow mananged to regain, and immediately I can see a difficult explain reaction from our trainer , and he gave a statement then “how was that guys?” we smiled and told “ya! awesome”…
The rafting continued for 1 hr.. and the endpoint we are allowed to float on the water for some time…(Hey!Goodbye nanba!,YUVA style floating …;)
After the rafting we came to same basecamp point (the other side of the river) and I was trying to find the place were we stayed sterday night…I couldn’t it is under water … oh..my..god.. It was a breathtaking experience to the last group, we escaped from the base camp at last moment, and they explained the “Escape from otherside” story, we were chilled…stunned…
We reached a village near muttheti and had our lunch and people were in the same feel, and wondering their moments of escape…Had a nice sleep under the tree.. and ..time to pinch the tents in new camp site.. we group gathered for the same and started the mission tent… after 1/2 hr successfully finished the mission, immediately I was searching for something to drink , I had 7up,pepsi tea vada…and lots… đĻ Meanwhile our organisers came up with a small idea, tied the rope from one tree to another and parcelling the people from high end to lower end … within two steps people touched down the ground, and got a footbal kick in their back .. đ
(really I dont the name of the game )
That night we planned for 5 course of meal … preparation : the gr8 chefs selected and nominated … me like volunteers involved as unskilled labours (washing, cleaning cutting the veg..) The dinner menu was include with rice,dhalmakhni,dum alu,manchurian and kaju halwa.. Non-veg chicken barboque … a amazing dinner again under moon… thanks to the chefs …
Please read the first line of blog,,, ya that moon trek I had in this night… a nice walk for 4 kms …njoing that moment …ENJOYING THAT MOMENT…
The next day morning , the other team was prepared to have their raft ride… and it was again undoubtly thirilling one.. we guys helped to pack up the things and cleared the base camp and Had a nice bath in Cauvery river… Prepared karabath,uppuma for morning breakfast & cup of tea…
So the time say goodbye.. we had a introductory session in the bus, which was interesting and surprisngly people from different corners clubbed togather and with the 2days of intraction they were introduced other frnd with their plus and minus’s …
At a whole it was a brand new experience and what I gained is , a good bunch of friends … who are all had gr8 attitude and a gr8 will power(escape from otherside) đ
Eventhough this blog doesn’t covered all corners of the trek..I tried my maximum…
Guys eager to meet u in next trek …
